Set It Off

About Set It Off

Set It Off is a pop-punk band hailing from Tampa, Florida. The band’s fanbase began growing when frontman Cody Carson uploaded videos of the band on YouTube. After releasing numerous EPs, they were signed by Equal Vision Records in 2011.

Their first full-length effort, Cinematics, came out in July 2012. The band partnered up with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation to raise money for school music programs, donating $1 from each album sold.

What [we’re] encouraging people to do with this record is just let it out. Show who you really are, and stop worrying about what everybody else is thinking, because it’s so damn liberating to just finally figure yourself out and be yourself."

In May 2015, the band announced that they had parted ways with bassist Austin Kerr. Harassment allegations were made against him, and he decided to leave the group so that he wouldn’t make any fans feel uncomfortable and to protect the reputation of the band. However, nothing has been proven, and there are accounts from friends of Austin that suggest the claims are false.
